M4 WG: Imperial Prison
After a long, hard day of marching, you have cramps and bruises everywhere. Lum actually apologizes, but suggests that the upcoming day might not be much easier. "We know where the enemy are now, but they can move quickly. They may have air-scouts, and we cannot risk being out in the open."
Lum and the Aki-Varshi head from one type of forest into another. This one has trees that are much closer to the ground, with much thicker leaves & branches but much more undergrowth. You aren't here for long. The Aki-Varshi find an outcropping of rock they seem to be looking for. They pull away a plug of dirt and branches, revealing a concealed hole beneath it. Contained inside is a stockpile of polished, varnished wooden objects. They look like small boats, just the size enough to sit on.
"Grab one for yourself," Lum suggests. Half the Aki-Varshi take one each. The other half bid you farewell.
"We stay behind, protect this land," one says in Geik. "Good luck. Be safe in your travels."
